This is definitely not an action movie--although it's overflowing with tension and brutal commentary on life and society--but for those who have ever considered mortality, their station in life, or possess some respect for artistic expression, this movie is polished, well-acted,... Full review

The film is a beautiful complement to Cunningham's book as Cunningham's book is a lovely accompaniment to Woolf's book.....also in part to the outstanding acting.....One scene in particular highlights her reality.....All three fit together in a seamless fashion like the characters at the heart of The Hours .....For the film, she was fitted with a prosthetic nose to make her look more like the writer and less like the gorgeous Nicole Kidman..... ...

It's some kind of magic that brought Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore together for Stephen Daldry's adaptation of Michael Cunningham's "The Hours". If this is a 'chick flick' it is one of the finest I have seen, and the rare instance where the male characters are treated with as much respect as the women particularly the excellent Stephen Dillane as Virginia's put-upon husband. ...

The Hours'' is far from a bad film, and at least two of its central trio of performances provide moments of disarming grace, but don't be surprised if a whiff of self-congratulation emanates from the screen. This is coffee-table filmmaking, gorgeously arranged but not quite the real thing. ... Full Review
